Zhang Delun, formerly known as 58909, was a member of the Chinese Labour Corps, which consisted of 140,000 individuals. They sailed eastward during the final years of the Great War, bound for France to toil behind the trenches. Many of them never returned home. Zhang's father is missing, and his 85th birthday feast is going cold. Despite the horror of the situation, Zhang has managed to survive and find roots in this foreign land with the help of Marguerite. The battlefields have long since healed, and the cornflowers have taken over, leaving the graves of Zhang's comrades as gravestones. Zhang tends to them, ensuring that they are not forgotten characters of a language that no local understands. However, Zhang worries about who will speak for them when he is gone.
